More payment methods for Nitro

You could add more payment methods for nitro: PaySafe Card, Paypal Wallet, PayM, Cryptocurrencies and some more. Before you downvote the suggestion because you don’t like crypto currencies, it’s the suggestion, not the payment methods listed above.

I agree with you, because Dutch people frequently use iDeal and have no creditcard. It's a country specific payment method though: if Discord wanted to stay minimalistic and would only like to have the big payment methods, they would probably just refer to PayPal and tell you to link up your bank account with it. I mean, that's what I did.

Chiming in to support this from Argentina. Regional Pricing is a must for us to even consider subscribing to Nitro o even buying games from the store. Valve and Blizzard already proved it's a good idea that you guys should implement.

Dabbit Prime just merged literally every thread about payment methods into this one. However his "merging" process does not include my original post which had many points in detail, therefore and because some of the points/explanations I made are missing in this post, I am reposting my original post about payment methods as comment into this.

Some regions like for example the DACH-Region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) got a much smaller credit card distribution, therefore they can't buy discord nitro or something from the discord store.

It would be nice to see some other payment methods like:

Klarna SOFORT > Supports direct payments from almost every bank in austria/germany

Paypal Wallet > Supporting direct wallet payments from paypal is a quick and easy way to benefit of paypal's already existing integrations for many banks

SEPA direct debit > Is supported by every bank in europe

Paysafecard > Can be bought at almost every gas station or store, so everyone could get one and pay with it, even tho I would not suggest to only use this one due to some "less good" business practises

I've noticed in previous discussions that many people from outside don't know much about the cards here, so I'll do a quick explanation. Yes, we (in austria/germany) also have cards, but not common ones. We mostly have maestro- and "girocards" which both have almost no support. That's why we for example rely on solutions like Klarna SOFORT.

Edit: Some people on the discord-feedback server told me that you use/used stripe, so I think it's worth to mention that they supports many of the payment methods above. With their entire set you'll probably cover almost everyone.

I agree. I never had Discord Nitro but i would love to have it. And i'm 100% sure that thousands of other people feel the same way. It would be really nice if they supported more payment methods. Like you just mentioned. I really hope they will add more payment methods later.

The problem with this is that there's only two possibilities: either Discord controls it as a ratio of the dev's USD price, which is a big no. Or the devs control it, and since it's mostly indie games which need the revenue more than the distribution (because unlike AAA titles, which always sell a lot, indie titles aren't guaranteed to recoup their budget, which means it's more likely than not that the price will not really change and will just be the USD equivalent in other currencies.

And assuming that devs DO put a lower price in other currencies, it opens up a rather difficult problem to solve: how do you prevent people from buying games in weaker currencies so that they get games for cheaper? Devs deserve the money.

woah. i stopped checking this out after a week and so and there are so many comments already. happy to see a conversation already happening. btw, while i am not knowledgeable at how this completely work, selling a digital copy of a game is not as simple as looking at it's cost in USD and converting it in some other currency like INR. "IF" i'm not wrong, it also depends upon tax rates regarding that. it is one of the reason why games on steam sold in Russia are most cheapest followed by India. i could be wrong and if so, pls do correct me as knowledge is power and i would not mind being corrected. i also hope that someone at discord did see this. since there is no feature that lets you know if people at discord have viewed your suggestion except of when they answer it directly, i was worried that this suggestion was going to be buried in the slew of other suggestion. that's to all for keeping this relevant,
